I'm in Memphis, TN and we don't get a lot of snow. I would like a tire that is quiet and has great traction on wet roads.

Lifts and max tire and wheel sizes for explorers
This is a quick reference guide I have put together based on information gathered from the Explorer Forum. Remember this is just a guide. You may have to do some fender trimming to fit these tires on your explorer. Others things can change what size tire you can run on your explorer. Like fiberglass fenders, rim width and rim backspacing.. I figured this would help some of you that were pondering...

Did not check, but they should have the same bolt pattern.
I would like to set them up with winter tire.

I currently have 20" (stock sport package), that I'll keep for summer's.

I know how to get the sizing, but mostly wonder if I am asking for trouble with 16" rims?

Any thought?]]>Need new tires - suggestions?Wed, 06 Sep 2017 09:55:31 +0000http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/need-new-tires-suggestions.465725/

I enjoyed the tires but wished they would have gotten more mileage out of them. Approximately 33,000 miles.

I live in SE Michigan so tires need to handle well in snow and be good in the summer as well.

Need a couple of new tires and found a decent set of 15" aluminum wheels with near new tires off a Ranger.]]>1Lug nut size for center capTue, 15 Aug 2017 17:43:03 +0000http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/lug-nut-size-for-center-cap.465543/

Specs are..
16x8
5x114.3
0 offset
4.5" backspace

I was planning on using the current 235/70/16 Cooper A/T tires but I'm afraid the aggressive wheel setup may look off without some meatier tires so I may upgrade to 255/60/17.
